  1. Seriously, are there ANY states where you can get married WITHOUT a marriage license? :o

    Here in Utah you actually can. It's called a common law marriage which is when a man and a woman never had a formal ceremony. If all conditions are met (mostly those of married couples) these couples can file for common law marriage to be assisted in certain matters (custody, etc). They are valid marriages and recognized here in Utah at least.

  2. We had our online NOA2 on May 29, 2007. Since then my fiancee has called three times and they told her three times that they would send it again. It still hasn't received? She received the NOA1 and also the NVC letter, just NOA2 is missing. I already had my interview last week and will be flying in 4 weeks, and in 6 weeks we're going to get married and we want to file for AOS ASAP. USCIS is just a bunch of morons... Should we contact her senator to get some help? What do you suggest?

  3. Annie+Mike, I'm all for humanity. But when traveling to another country you're always subject to local laws. What may be legal at home may get you into prison, or even worse on other areas of this world. You're from a civilized and rich country, I'm sure you have immigration laws, too. You don't have to be scared in Ireland, you won't have to starve. I have some sympathy with refugees who literally run for their lives, who don't have another option. But honestly, you should have known that you can't just stay in another country indefinitely, the rich countries on this planet need to protect themselves from being flood by millions of people. And I don't think that love is an excuse anywhere. I would've reacted differently had you been married already. My fiancee and I got to learn the laws of both of our countries to see what our options are, because we also didn't want to jeopardize our future and then later have to tell ourselves that we were just plain stupid, that we should've done some research. But seriously, if you're banned and you can't overturn the ban then that's not the end of the world. Why not live in Ireland with your future husband for a while. But don't be as stupid (sorry, I have to use this word) as you were in the US and forget to research your options in Ireland, what the immigration laws regulate there.

  4. Thanks to everyone here giving advice and providing so much support!

    Today I survived the Consulate General in Frankfurt, Germany! I wasn't asked for any further evidence of our relationship, although I brought a bunch of evidence with me. Getting inside of the building was very simple and was only a matter of maybe three minutes (waiting until some people left the building again). I was allowed to skip the long line in front of the building and got directly inside, because there were no other immigrants waiting. VERY friendly and helpful staff!!!. The "interview" only took a few minutes and was mostly just the finger printing and signing the form, and in between the Consul was only interested in how we met, and since I'm still a student in university he wondered how or if I plan to finish my degree. Just chit-chat, really. Everybody was really friendly.

  5. I received Packet 4 today, wow this was fast. On the forms I wrote that I plan to fly on 18 August 2007, but on my letter that I faxed them together with the checklist I asked them to schedule it before or on 19 July 2007, if possible. They respected my wish and scheduled my interview for 19 July 2007 :)

    Thanks to everyone here, this is a great community and it's very helpful to understand the process and to learn about what to do! VJ is great!

    I can't wait to see my fiancee again!!!

  6. Hallo zusammen, ich geselle mich auch mit in die Runde ein und habe auch schon eine Frage fuer euch: Meint ihr, dass ein Fax vom human resources department als letter of employer fuer das I-134 ausreicht? Der Arbeitgeber meiner Verlobten ist die IRS behoerde, aber ich weiss nicht wie genau das Fax aussieht. Es hat auf alle Faelle eine Unterschrift und ihren jaehrlichen Verdienst, seit wann sie dort arbeitet und dass es ein seasonal job ist. Denkt ihr das ist ok so?
